vmbus_chan_sched() might call the netvsc driver callback function that ends up scheduling NAPI work. This "work" can access the channel ring buffer, so we must ensure that any such work is completed and that the ring buffer is no longer being accessed before freeing the ring buffer data structure in the channel closure path. To this end, disable NAPI before calling vmbus_close() in netvsc_device_remove().
